Thought you might be interested in the following from the listserv used by former POWs held in North Vietnam & Laos. I can't post the link so you'll need to copy then paste in your browser.

Save for when you have some time. It's long but worth it.

Wonderful news of hope for those who have lost limbs.

DARPA sponsored this contest and drove the state of the art
in an amazing way. Great news for our young military casualties.

This is the same guy who invented the Segway. Listen and watch what he did in 13 months. You will not believe it! This is really worth taking the few
minutes. Shows what technology can do, when directed into a special effort,
and this is one very special guy!! Let's hope they are even more successful.
This is a Dean Kamen presentation and film.
